[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 494606, member: 9512"] IMHO, FI, as you do not know how the assembly will behave in the event of a fault. Also, because the person who did the mix & match is now the manufacturer in law of the assembly, which means they are liable for any failures in that product, and may not be insured for product liability, most install electrician policies do not cover product liability. I am pretty sure that if there is no damage, butchering of the housing or bus bar to make the breaker fit, and no signs of any thermal change, that we ended up with a C3 in CodeBreakers, which I disagreed with, but the majority won out because most of these mixed boards do not exhibit issues. Also, IMHO, the higher the fault current, the more hazardous this would be from a fault current/arc venting issue. Any butchering, bending, or thermal issues was a C2 in CodeBreakers. [/QUOTE]
